Question

The current in a radio measures 12 amps. The resistance of the radio is 4 ohms. What is the voltage?

Question 1 options:

3 V


48 V


3 A


48 ohms

Answer 1

Voltage = current * resistance
Voltage = 12 * 4
Voltage = 48V

Answer 2

As per ohm's law we can say that voltage across the ends of a resistor is always product of the resistance with current flows through it.

So we can write

`V = i*R`

given that

i = 12 A

R = 4 ohm

now we can say from the above formula

`V = 4 * 12`

`V = 48 Volts`
